Yakov> The scope of work in support of mp2mp P-tunnels should be guided by
Yakov> draft-ietf-l3vpn-mvpn-considerations.

That document was never intended as a guide to future work; certainly when
it was adopted by the WG it was presented as establishing a particular set
of features as mandatory; it was not presented as a restriction on future
charter modifications.

I do agree that any option that is mandated or recommended in that document
is a valid topic for the WG to consider taking up.

But I don't agree with the converse.
